Description
Plastic Materials is designed to give you a solid foundation for understanding polymer families, their corresponding material properties, plastic rheology, and shrink and warp characteristics.
Attendees will learn critical thought processes that help distinguish between the various root causes shrink and warp.
The Injection Molding Development Course begins with a discussion of the various types of molding machines and considerations when utilizing each type of machine.
From there, the course dives into plastic materials and the influence that material properties have on the molding process. This discussion progresses into additional processing considerations including melt temperature and mold cooling.
Attendees will then learn AIM’s scientific molding process development methods for both first stage and second stage process settings. These concepts are reinforced through an instructor-led demonstration in our injection molding lab.
The course concludes with unique strategies for troubleshooting variations in mold filling and part quality through AIM’s Flow Grouping methodology,used to reduce mold debug and qualification times.
